Bonus Winnings and Online Casino Tax

[Khoupt]

Played in a casino online from Curacao. Won some money because able to wager on slots with sign on bonus. Deposited $300 via BTC to verify my account and was told I could withdraw, EXCEPT: I have to pay around $1300 USD for a Curacao tax on the winnings THEN the funds will be released. The withdraw that I initiated is pending. Is this for real? I have been reading lots of articles. This particular site has a GCB license and prompt customer service, but I am wary to do anything more without solid proof of the casino's legitimacy. If for real, great! But if a scam is there anyway to get back my $300? Appreciate any insight/advice, thanks...

Yep it’s a Scam move , you never have to Pay to withdraw.

In future if you want help looking up a casino post the sites URL not just the name, as very common for scam sites to shadow real ones.

Unfortunately this is the online casino version of the 419 scams. Lots of info on the forum about this.
